BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] Present invention relates to a printer head and particularly to an ink jet printer head and a manufacturing method thereof.

[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art

[0004] Ink jet printer head is usually formed by sequential accumulation of nozzle plate 222 where nozzle 223 has been formed, reserver plate 221 where reserver 220 is formed, channel plate 219 where flow channel 218 is formed, restrictor plate 217 where restrictor 216 is formed, chamber plate 215 forming a chamber 214, and actuator composed of three parts of upper electrode 210, piezoelectric/electrostrictive film 211 and lower electrode 212 as in FIG. 1.

[0005] Ink travel path is formed in ink jet printer head by the above formation of such as nozzle 223, reserver 220, flow channel 218, restrictor 216, chamber 214 of mutually different sizes and shapes.

[0006] Ink supplied from ink canister (not shown in figure) is reserved in reserver 220 after which it flows into chamber 214 through flow channel 218 whence the reserver 220 formed between flow channel 218 and chamber 214 maintains ink flow speed into chamber 214 to a constant state.

[0007] Piezoelectric substance 211 is actuated if voltage is applied at upper electrode 210 and lower electrode 212 of actuator formed upon chamber 214; by which piezoelectric/electrostrictive film 211 actuation the chamber 214 volume momentarily decreases while chamber 214 ink is ejected through nozzle 223 formed at nozzle plate 222 onto material on which to be written. Printing is carried out by this ink jet.

[0008] Until now to manufacture an ink jet printer head as described above, use has been made of method of assembling after separately making a nozzle plate where nozzle is formed, a reserver plate where reserver is formed, a channel plate where channel is formed, a restrictor plate where restrictor is formed and a chamber plate where chamber is formed.

[0009] In this method, each plate comprising the ink jet printer head as above is manufactured by each separate process, and photoresist is coated on each of these separately manufactured plates which are then exposed to light, after which the guide holes are formed for assembling, then these plates are piled one upon another. Guide holes are fastened by screw etc. to fix the plates which are then thermally treated so that they are bonded together to finish the ink jet printer head.

[0010] In this traditional method, there is problem that yield percentage is low because there is large possibility to generate assembly tolerance error owing to inaccurate congruence of the guide hole positions and the plate sizes when assembling. And there is demerit of production cost rise because such photoresist should be used as is excellent in adhesion and low in reactivity with ink, which photoresist is to be coated before bonding the plates together.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] Present invention ink jet printer head manufacture method can be classified into two of which the first method is explained now.

[0026] Silicon wafer is used for ink jet printer head body material. Silicon has property of high rigidity in relation to given thickness.

[0027] Restrictor plate is formed over the above silicon wafer by doping impurity component and nozzle plate is formed under the silicon wafer.

[0028] Nozzle plate may be formed using one of following three methods.

[0029] First method forms a doping layer by doping at silicon wafer bottom part. If it is doped to form a foping layer after adding impurity component at silicon wafer bottom part, the layer gets electric characteristics which is different characteristics from that of upper part silicon wafer. The silicon wafer bottom part may be doped simultaneously with the upper part silicon wafer.

[0030] Second method forms polysilicon (poly-Si) layer at silicon wafer bottom part. Polysilicon layer is formed by dry process such as sputtering and vapor deposition or by wet process such as sol-gel process.

[0031] Third method forms metal layer under silicon wafer by electroplating metal. Ordinary metals may be used for metal layer material but it is preferable to use ink-resistant metal such as nickel (Ni), nickel-chromium (Ni-Cr) or nickel-cobalt-tungsten (Ni-Co-W).

[0032] Silicon wafer in between the restrictor plate and the nozzle plate becomes channel plate if the restrictor plate and the nozzle plate have been formed over and under the silicon wafer respectively.

[0033] Then nozzle is formed by etching after patterning the nozzle plate formed under the silicon wafer. Whence the channel plate made of the above part silicon wafer can function as etching stop layer because the plate has different material property.

[0034] Channel going through the restrictor plate and the channel plate is formed by dry etching after patterning the restrictor plate and the channel plate after forming the nozzle. At this time, the channel may be formed to have uniform width. And the channel may be formed to have two portions of a wide upper portion and a narrow lower portion by patterning the silicon wafer and restrictor plate narrowly, etching the silicon wafer and restrictor plate, then patterning the silicon wafer and restrictor plate widely, and etching the silicon wafer and restrictor plate except the lower end of the silicon wafer. In case that the channel is formed to have two portions which have different width, the fluid resistance is increased at the narrow lower portion. Therefore the vibration occurred after the ink is jetted is diminished rapidly and the frequency property become excellent.

[0035] Restrictor is formed by etching after patterning the restrictor plate after forming the channel. At this time also the channel plate made of the silicon wafer can function as etching stop layer because the plate has different material property.

[0036] One or more reservers continued to restrictor under the restrictor are formed by etching definite thickness after patterning the channel plate after forming the restrictor. In case that plural reservoirs are formed, the crosstalk between the ink in a chamber and the ink in the reservoir is minimized and the ink is ejected stably. Thus the frequency property is excellent.

[0037] In the above procedure it is preferable to perform wet etching using anisotropic etching liquid such as potassium hydroxide {KOH}, trimethylamine hydroxide {TMAH} while dry etching may be done using facility of ICP (inductively coupled plasma) or ICP-RIE (inductively coupled plasma-reaction ion etching) etc.

[0038] Ink jet printer head body where restrictor plate, channel plate, nozzle plate, restrictor, reserver, channel and nozzle have been formed is made by the above procedure.

[0039] Hydrophile or water repellency treatment may be performed on the side contacting the channel, the nozzle (plate), and the portion where ink is jetted so as to enhance hydrophilia or water repellency though nozzle plate manufactured by the above methods may be used without particular hydrophile or water repellency treatment. Whence it is preferable to use method of making silicon oxide or nitride film on silicon surface or method of metal vapor deposition on silicon surface for hydrophile treatment. And for water repellency treatment it is preferable to use method of doping boron (B) on silicon surface, method of chemically reducing silicon surface, method of treating silicon surface with HF etc., method of film coating of water-repellent polymer after metallization on silicon surface, etc. Electric conductive metal is vapor deposited on silicon surface for metallization where it is preferable to use nickel (Ni), nickel-vanadium (Ni-V) or nickel-chromium (Ni-Cr) among electric conductive metals. PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) or Teflon is used for water-repellent polymer where it is preferable to use method of electroplating, spin coating, vapor deposition etc. for polymer film coating.

[0040] Actuator where chamber, chamber plate, vibration plate, lower electrode, piezoelectric/electrostrictive film and upper electrode have been formed is separately manufactured. This actuator may be manufactured by generally used method.

[0041] Ink jet printer head is completed by binding this separately manufactured actuator to the above ink jet printer head infrastructure.

At this time, as described in the first method, the channel may be formed to have uniform width and may be formed to have two portions of a wide upper portion and a narrow lower portion.

[0046] Restrictor is formed by etching after patterning the restrictor plate after forming the channel. At this time also the channel plate made of the silicon wafer can function as etching stop layer because the plate has different material property.

[0047] One or more reservers continued to restrictor under the restrictor are formed by etching definite thickness after patterning the channel plate after forming the restrictor.

[0048] Methods used in etching are same as those described in the above first ink jet printer head manufacture method.

[0049] Photoresist layer is formed by laminating dry photoresist under the silicon wafer after forming the reservers. Formed photoresist layer is patterned so that photoresist remain only at the part where nozzle is to be formed.

[0050] Nozzle plate is formed by electroplating metal under silicon wafer after patterning the photoresist. At this time also ordinary metals may be used for that metal but it is preferable to use ink-resistant metal such as nickel (Ni), nickel-chromium (Ni-Cr) or nickel-cobalt-tungsten (Ni-Co-W).

[0051] Nozzle is formed by removing the remaining photoresist after forming the nozzle plate.

[0052] Ink jet printer head body where restrictor plate, channel plate, nozzle plate, restrictor, reserver, channel and nozzle have been formed is made by the above procedure.

[0053] Hydrophile or water repellency treatment may be performed on the side contacting the channel, the nozzle (plate), and the portion where ink is jetted so as to enhance hydrophilia or water repellency though nozzle plate manufactured by the above methods may be used without particular hydrophile or water repellency treatment. Methods used in these hydrophile and water repellency treatments are same as those described in the above first ink jet printer head manufacture method.

[0054] Actuator where chamber, chamber plate, vibration plate, lower electrode, piezoelectric/electrostrictive film and upper electrode have been formed is separately manufactured. This actuator may be manufactured by generally used method.

[0055] Ink jet printer head is completed by binding this separately manufactured actuator to the above ink jet printer head infrastructure.

[0056] Ink jet printer head manufactured by the above procedure comprises a channel plate made of silicon wafer; a restrictor plate formed over the silicon wafer by doping impurity component; a nozzle plate formed under the silicon wafer by electroplating a metal; a nozzle formed at the nozzle plate through which nozzle the ink is jetted; a channel going through the channel plate and the restrictor plate which channel is ink path; a restrictor formed at restrictor plate which restrictor maintains ink speed to be constant; one or more reservers continued to restrictor under the restrictor which reservers are formed at a part of the channel plate and in which reservers the ink is reserved; a chamber plate formed upon the restrictor plate; a chamber formed at the chamber plate; a vibration plate formed upon the chamber plate; a lower electrode formed upon the vibration plate; a piezoelectric/electrostrictive film formed upon the lower electrode so that this film actuates when electrified; and an upper electrode formed upon the piezoelectric/electrostrictive film.

[0057] Part material precision is improved by present invention ink jet printer head manufacture method because process to adfix and assemble of each part is not necessary. Therefore high precision design of each component part such as reserver, restrictor, channel and nozzle is feasible.

[0058] And large area mass production application is feasible because silicon batch process is used; and ink jet part and channel side surface of nozzle plate can be controlled of surface characteristics by hydrophile or water repellency treatment.
